Shocked farang

A real vaccination program that includes everyone, I mean everyone from 12 yo up, is the only possibility for reopening.

I have a bad feeling about groups like this during a pandemic. Usually they all get infected at the same time, best of luck!

Most probably good old school hippies...

I get it! They are most probably high on something...

My two cents on Sinovac; I totally understand that many people are suspicious of it as the pandemic started in China and China has flooded the whole planet with low quality products for years. But in the case of the Sinovac vaccine, it's proven to be effective, not the same efficacy of Pfizer and Moderna as it's a different platform, it's not M-RNA. It does offer protection against the worse form of Covid though. In percentage it's less effective than the others but still far, far better than no vaccine at all.

There's no Moderna being used in Brazil.

You misunderstood me, I got Pfizer but it was sheer luck as you cannot choose vaccines here, you show up and take whatever is available. I know many people who have taken Sinovac and feel protected. Brazil currently uses, Pfizer, AZ (locally produced and imported), Jansen, Sinovac and very few from that Russian manufacturer that I don't remember now.

It doesn't matter. You are not in the UK now and it's recognised by the WHO. I live in Brazil now and Sinovac has saved many lives here.

To be honest, I'd take Sinovac now and then AZ once IN the UK. The risk of being unvaccinated is just too great, specially now with the Delta variant. The virus will find you...
